TDC1000-C2000EVM: TDC1000-C2000EVM:

Part Number: TDC1000-C2000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TDC1000

Hello 

I am currently working on a project that involves interfacing 120 volt transducers with the TDC1000 evaluation kit (EVK) board. I am seeking guidance and assistance on how to safely and effectively connect these transducers to the TDC1000 EVK board.

Specifically, I am looking for information on the following:

  1. Recommended circuitry or components for safely interfacing 120 volt transducers with the TDC1000 EVK board.
  2. Any considerations or precautions that need to be taken to ensure the safety of both the TDC1000 EVK board and the connected transducers.
  3. Guidance on proper signal conditioning and voltage level shifting techniques to ensure compatibility between the high-voltage transducers and the TDC1000 EVK board.
  4. Any available resources, documentation, or application notes that address the integration of high-voltage transducers with the TDC1000 EVK board.
  • Hello Sohil,

    Thanks for posting to the sensors forum and for the background on this!

    We previously had a board that used to be group to another version of a TDC1000 EVM. This board was used to boost the transducer driving voltage from the 5V delivered by the TDC to 30V. So not quite the 120V you are trying to achieve on your end but I believe you could use a similar topology rated for 120V to create the system you are referring to above.

    Here is the link to the TC1000-BSTEVM:  www.ti.com/.../sniu026a.pdf  Please check page 33 for the BSTEVM portion of the circuit that handles the voltage translation that is used to drive the transducers.

    We dont really have any other documentation on this space for this device as the TDC1000 is recommended in usage for short/mid range liquid coupled applications which don't typically require such a large voltage. Do you mind sharing more about your application to see if there is not another device we might be able to recommend?

    Best,

    Isaac
